The simple pleasure of chewing on a stick in the morning.

I know it's been an eventful year but let's not forget that AI served up this monstrosity of a figure in a paper that was published and then retracted by one of the frontiers journals this year. The rat with giant balls lives in AI infamy for all time scienceintegritydigest.com/2024/02/15/t...

T-SPOT.TB performs much better in many immunocompromised populations IMO, but historically was logistically more difficult from CA due to time-sensitive FedEx of samples to Memphis which failed a lot with winter storms. Less an issue now that Quest bought T-SPOT.

Pet rocks are going to trend

Mabel is not a bad bunny (Trending topic)

Mabel and Merlin exploring their new hidey house.

My BSKY policy is to block people who seem to be trolls on sight.

Reading the lawsuit - just wow. Good on her for bringing this forward

Late night hop & flop action.

Friday's looking good to Mabel

Saturday morning in bunland.

CDC exercises caution but endorses doxycycline and tetracycline as viable alternatives, with a preference for doxycycline, given its better compliance rates and reduced incidence of gastrointestinal adverse effects. #idsky #medsky

Compared Bluesky vs. X for the UHC and tsunami news this morning. Bsky easily for the win on both.

Sunday Bunday #bunnies

Mabel says "TGIF" #bunnies

Updated with the ONE THING that Microsoft Teams does better than Zoom. Grateful for that! @ademeter.bsky.social @rbganatra.bsky.social

"Drink more water!" It's the easiest health advice around. Tired? Headache? Trying to be like Tom Brady? Just drink more water. But as a nephrologist, I get asked all the time: How much is the right amount? And the truth is... we don't really know. 🧵

Morning #bunnies complement my coffee nicely.

This is your reminder to get a library card. They have so many services and basically all of them are free.

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.

Merlin's got the "binkies" on a Sunday morning.. #bunnies

Does this make #idsky digital benzathine penicillin G?

Nerd humor 🤓 #statisticshumor #cardiosky #medsky

I think when I break the news to my 50-something patients that pneumococcal vaccine is now recommended for them, they just hear “the CDC just declared that I’m old.” #medsky

Brunch is always better with happy bunnies #ASMR

Bunnies gonna bun.

🚨 Antibiotic Treatment for 7 versus 14 Days in Patients with Bloodstream Infections BALANCE trial publication is here ! #IDsky #Medsky @idjclub.bsky.social www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

I was going to share pithy medical insights and surprising RCT results but Mabel had other ideas. #bunnies

@jennifer_s_lees 🥁Cystatin C for the win 🥁 Based on @uk_biobank data. Some inherent limitations but eGFR using cystatin C risk stratifies CKD even when eGFRcr is >60 #ERA22 #FCera22

Can't stop watching Merlin. #nomnom #bunnies

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped! What's it say? It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay! Was it just a small study? No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

Amplifying for #Medsky

Next up in the cranial nerve #neuroanatomy Pokémon card series, here are CN III, IV, & VI — everyone's favourite extraocular muscle threesome! Alt text includes decoded emoji strengths & weaknesses... I'm particularly proud of CN III 🍓 Grab a physical copy: www.thegamecrafter.com/games/crania...

New platform, new opportunity to show off my Pokémon-inspired cranial nerve cards 🧠🤓 Each card includes cryptic "strengths" & weaknesses" (perhaps better described as “stuff they help us do” & “stuff that might hurt / damage them in some manner”) as emojis... can you decode them? #neuro #anatomy

This. Finally people don't have to go visit a doctor to find out if they've got a cold or something with a medication strategy (covid or flu)

Medicine focuses a lot on the question “will this help my patient” but not on the question “when will it help my patient.” The latter becomes important as we age. We’ve developed a “time-to-benefit” tool on eprognosis.ucsf.edu to help answer this question. Here is a snapshot #MedSky #FOAMed #meded

Starting things off with my muses Merlin and Mabel. Still sorting out how they can see patients with me in the office. #medsky #bunnies
